Veritiv is a business-to-business provider of packaging, facility solutions, print and publishing products and services. Co.'s business segments are: Packaging, which provides custom and standard packaging solutions; Facility Solutions, which sources and sells cleaning, break-room and other supplies such as towels, tissues, food service, personal protective equipment, cleaning chemicals, and skincare; Print, which sells and distributes commercial printing, writing, copying, digital, specialty products, and graphics consumables; and Publishing and Print Management, which sells and distributes coated and uncoated commercial printing papers. We show 39 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our VRTV shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute VRTV market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing VRTV market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing VRTV's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of VRTV versus a peer is one thing; comparing
VRTV market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like VRTV can fluctuate over the course of history.
With this page we aim to empower investors researching VRTV by allowing them to research the VRTV market cap history. |
